Summary of change:
I contacted Mattias about setting up VEMS on my BMW 535 (E28) on which I has a twin turbo setup. More information here (in Swedish): http://www.535twinturbo.com/ I previously ran with SMT6 but that was just crap. '''Engine information''' * Mostly stock M30B35, a 3.5 litre 6 cylinder even-fire inline (not odd-fire V6) engine with ~210 hp N/A with stock engine management * 2 x Garret T3 from Saab NG900/OG93 * Custom exhaust manifolds * 2 x EGT K-type thermocouples in the collectors * 6 x 380 cc/min @ 3bar high impedance injectors * Single coil and distributor (for initial setup, direct-fire setup might come later) '''Trigger setup''' The stock reference and speed sensor are not useable with VEMS as far as I know, these are mounted at the back of the engine. One measure engine speed through 360 teeth, the other syncs with the engine once every revolution. So it's kind of like a missing tooth setup - only it isn't. The solution that will be used: Three M8 bolts will be fastened to the harmonic dampener at the front of the engine, 120 degrees apart with 8 mm protrusion. A Honeywell GT1 Hall sensor will be used to sense these. * What ign_tdcdelay (position of the pulses BTDC) will you use ? 55..65 crankdegrees ? ** ''I get the zero mark line up with the mark on the engine on 45degrees'' ** sorry, but I cannot understand this, so I cannot confirm if it's right. Can you reword ? When the 1st bolt is at the sensor, cylinderX is at (... fill this in... preferrably select X so that this value is in range 0..120) degrees BTDC in the compression stroke.. '''Assembled v3.3 controller wishes''' * '''both primary and secondary trigger inputs should be of HALL type'''. * MPX4250AP 255kPa MAP sensor mounted onboard, with frontplate mounted 6/4mm pneumatic connector. * Serial RS232 is usually EC18pin14 and EC18pin15 (can be DSUB9 if you insist) * LCD through frontplate * PS2 through EC18 * 2 x AD597 chips (normally they have to be added to the order and mounting is free ** 2 x compensational cables through the frontplate, flying loom style ** 2 x K-type female chassis connectors (mounted by me) ----- '''050926 - Problems of the day''' '''SOLVED - Switched Polarity''' * EGT sensors dosent work, just show 16c when engine off, and when engine ON it jumps between 16c and 60c Is it just switched plus and minus or what? ** Switched polarity have different syndromes. Check ohmage (or voltage during operation) between the sensor wires and GND (should be near 0 Ohm and 0V) '''SOLVED - fuse didnt have 100% contact whit the cabels''' * Lambda act a little strange and unstable, yesterday it work perfektly but tobay it just "freezes" at like AFR17.95 ** publish config, and preferrably the relevant LCD page too (the page that displays nersnt and Ri). Maybe capture the output of "perl bin/wbo2log.pl :COM2 mde02" ''my config is at http://junk.535twinturbo.com/terminal_senaste.log'' ----- '''050928''' *Now the engine fires up om the priming fuel, and then dying instantly after that. I´ve tryed the reg_fuel value frpm 1.0 to 10.0 and the "VE Table" 30% all over, but nothing can fire my engine up anymore, sparkplugs looks fine and are not completely fueled up. ** Have you checked secondary trigger settings? one of those settings has to be 02 when not used.. *''Does it often hapens that configs chenges when voltage drops verymuch? ** If you board resets while you are in another view in megatune, and change it, MegaTune can ruin config: See GenBoard/UnderDevelopment/FirmWare/Settings. So make sure to exit all views (main view with gauges is safe) when you are cranking and are low on power.. //Emil We are working on a workaround to stop MegaTune trashing config - even if the board resets.
Optional: Add document to category:
Wiki formatting: * is Bullet list ** Bullet list subentry ... '''Bold''', ---- is horizontal ruler, <code> preformatted text... </code> See wiki editing HELP for tables and other formatting tips and tricks.
